It’s a slippery slope that leads to—empathy!—and we can’t have that, oh no.
Unfortunately it’s easier for corporate entities to violate our boundaries in our safe spaces. And we pay them for the privilege.
As Janis said, “It’s the same fucking day, man.”
He’s a gutless pig.
That’s right on point. Thank you.
Gavin Newsom is the new John Fetterman.
I suppose it’s the same perverse mindset that believes black people not wanting to be lynched by white racists is a “luxury”, for example.
Vance will do anything his handlers tell him to do. Anything. Restoring the democratic checks and balances Trump destroyed isn’t on their list of priorities. Nutjob Peter Thiel has repeatedly said that ‘democracy’ is an outdated construct. But people in this country will pretend they didn’t know.
Ouch. I’m sorry, dude.
The best James Bond film is True Lies.
Where the fuck is Jake Tapper?
This.
I think that’s our problem: there are truckloads of Drew Ensigns willing to be an accomplice to murder but our side finds that hard to believe. They are monsters in five thousand dollar suits and we have to take them seriously.
I’m sorry.
Trump’s family feels the same disappointment as does everybody else, I’m sure.
Always a good idea.
“All of ‘em!”
When I remember how bugfuck batshit obsessive the MSM was about Biden’s alleged cognitive issues, it’s maddening to witness how Trump’s mental and physical decline is being completely ignored.
Reality TV Show Presidencies are expensive.
The people who are saying “nothing will change” are usually the same people who are saying “we’re doomed”, so they’re easy to ignore. More to the point, they’re wrong because he’ll be gone, and the world will be made better by his absence. And when it happens, not a single tear will be shed.
I think you mean the “[NFL] prefers docile, agreeable Negroes”. While Saquon Barkley is shuckin’ & jivin’ with President Trump, Colin Kaepernick was blackballed out of the game. And we saw what they did to Shadeur Sanders.
Luigi Mangione won’t be an outlier in this Brave New World.
If this was Russia, Trump would have fallen out of a window by now.
It isn’t as though smarter people than us haven’t been telling the passengers of Spaceship Earth for the past few decades.
It’s called making an INFORMED decision. Ignoring evidence usually had BAD consequences. Some folks, however, prefer the “trial and error” method, especially when other people are the lab rats.
Raw oysters. Before it was raw milk. It’s almost as if there’s a—naw. That’s crazy talk, lib.
How does Capitalism work when nobody can afford to buy anything?
“I imagine one of the reasons people cling to their hates so stubbornly is because they sense, once hate is gone, they will be forced to deal with pain.” —Notes of a Native Son, James Baldwin.
Thank you.
America is a country that believes in God, but not so much in charity.
How would I go about contributing to your magazine?
It’s painfully obvious that it is easier to ban pronouns in America than guns.
It’s not just RFK Jr— it’s everyone in the goddamned Trump administration and the GOP.
Why not? It’s working over here.
It doesn’t help when the mayor of DC gives this authoritarian assault on our civil liberties a thumbs up.
This is a terrible decision. Opposing federal troops in the streets should be a no-brainer, politically speaking.
“Night is a time of rigor, but also of mercy. There are truths which one can see only when it’s dark.” —Isaac Bashevis Singer youtu.be/_NiG3BvZ0a0
“Regulations are written in blood.”
Frank Miller.
Mike Deodato’s homage to the great Will Eisner.
What Obama has in his hands Donald Trump will NEVER have and it’s driving him bugfuck crazy.
Janet Park.
Jesus. Another neo-Nazi Eugenicist with a big platform and no conscience. It’s a predatory species that’s multiplying like cockroaches.
Anthony Edwards got Draked.
Will Putin’s minions in the White House try to pull off a “Weekend at Bernie’s” hustle if Donnie kicks the bucket?
DeSantis, thankfully, has about as much charisma as Vice President JD Couchfucker Vance.
Circling the wagons.
The hateful fascist fuck is specifically broadcasting this vile rhetoric to a mayonnaise suburban audience already predisposed to expect the worst from scary black people. Miller is speaking their language.
Jesus. I’m sorry. Fucking incompetent white men with power are dangerous.
But when he’s gone and everyone is surveying the damage he left behind , White America will pretend that Donald Trump was an outlier, an accident of history, The Fall Guy. And the GOP will blame the Democrats for electing Trump twice.
If this person isn’t comfortable around kids, that’s his right. Having said that, If I was a parent, I wouldn’t let this motherfucker anywhere near my kids. I’ll be damned if someone is going to make them feel uncomfortable. Fuck off, dude.
This is the primary reason Mamdani’s mayoral campaign is so successful. Other than rich people, everyone else knows the rent is too damned high.
No, I’m gonna blame the voters who continue to vote for Republicans in spite of the overwhelming evidence of how bad they are at governing.
I believe NOT forgiving them is a necessary first step. Evil white men in Republican administrations have ALWAYS committed terrible crimes, and they get away with it because the usual response is to recite the It’s Time To Move On alibi and Blame The Democrats.
Unfortunately, they’re assholes who never face the consequences of their actions because White America gives them a hall pass.
Back in the “good old days”, lynching was more popular than baseball. This is the future White America wants.
Devolution.
Eventually white people are going to wind up hating the police almost as much as black and brown people do.
I wish I lived in a reality where rainbow-colored crosswalks was all I had to fucking worry about.
I’m sorry. Then again, the trouble with naps is that “I’m just gonna lie down for a half hour” usually winds up three or four hours later and I can’t get to sleep later in the evening.
Cuban’s premise is hypocritical bs. Rich white guys don’t want to pay more in taxes, therefore they’re gonna circle the wagons to keep the rabble in check. Billionaires like Cuban can’t admit they’re greedy sociopaths so they pretend they’re visionaries who think outside the box. As I said, bs.
Hey, naps are SERIOUSLY underappreciated.
Stephanie Spay.
I know, right? These days, the time my evenings would begin now are the evenings my old tired ass is going to bed.
Sometimes the Goddess is kind.
Corporations need to learn that discriminatory policies are gonna FUCK UP their profit margins.
Back in the day, I remember doing stupid shit like this and smiling when it was done. Helping each other move for a six-pack. Also, things didn’t hurt back then.
Pritzer has been on point but he’s not getting the clicks because he’s not a magazine cover model like Governor Goodhair. Unfortunately, more than a few “progressives” are vulnerable to reality TV show nonsense from their candidates as conservatives are.

Feature, not bug.
“Growing up in a poor family, Superman was a deeply personal icon, one that said you can do anything if you put your mind to it. What he stood for formed the core of who I wanted to be as I grew up, and informed how I view the world and my responsibilities to other people.” —J. Michael Straczynski
There are people whose business is minding other people’s business. It’s lucrative.
I can say, “My mistake.” It’s surprising he would be so dismissive of black people feeling unsafe in spaces occupied by Nazis.
Yeah, but Biden stuttered.
Another white man telling black people they shouldn’t be upset about Nazis using the n-word.
I don’t know how honorable it is to admit you’re a greedy sociopath.
June Lockhart, and the female movie stars from that era, deserved better from Hollywood. There are more options for older actresses nowadays.
I doubt going the Neville Chamberlain route would work. Complimenting Trump only works if you have money. In Trump’s world, the only valid relationships are transactional.
The goal is to get inmates to do it. It won’t even count as time off for good behavior.
I believe the goal is to Divide and Conquer. It’s a reliable tactic.
They’re Not Like Us.
They hate us for the unforgivable sin of NOT being THEM but still being happy. Worse, we refuse to take the blame for how shitty their lives are.
White America will gladly bend the knee when that knee is on the throat of a black or brown person.
Wow. I’m hooked. Thank you for an exceptionally well-written review. I’ll definitely check it out.
Oliver Twist, by Charles Dickens.
He’s not white, that’s why.
Be the bird.
TBF, this observation applies to several rich white men.
There are rumors that “A Song of Ice and Fire” originally was a trilogy but things got out of hand. I think GRRM needed a tough, hard-nosed editor to save him from himself.
That’s a good point. If there’s no accountability for the criminals in the Trump administration, then nothing will change.
